Scott Thwaites had yet another top 10, at Dwars door Vlaanderen yesterday. At 26 he's not the young thruster I thought he was, but he always seems to find a way of top-10-ing on sub-WT cobbled races, and his first pro win will surely come soon enough. He constantly seems to make the select group, and he can sprint well enough, or go solo. His ride in Le Samyn in pursuit of Terpstra was a thing of dogged and painful beauty and one of the best non-winning rides of the season so far IMO.
